Chapter 40 Mine

In fact, the strength of the Nova is far more than just its exaggerated speed. This guy's electronic warfare capabilities are also unparalleled. The mine that happened here has known for a long time that we are coming, and the troops sent by the country are stationed here. In addition, this is a uranium mine. Of course, there are very good security facilities around it, including a powerful fixed radar group. . However, even with a large fixed ground radar station, and knowing in advance that we were coming, the people below did not notice our infiltration at all, even until the Nova had begun preparations in the designated area that had been prepared long ago. After landing, someone discovered the Nova's huge hull with the naked eye.

In fact, it was seen by the people below with the naked eye because this was an ordinary transition and it was not in combat, so the Nova did not activate the optical camouflage. Otherwise, it would only be discovered after the spacecraft landed on the ground and someone walked over and accidentally bumped into it. The spaceship is already docked there.

Although we sent a notice to this place before departure, the speed of the Nova was too fast, so the people here were still shocked when it landed. Fortunately, Nuwa was always online, otherwise someone might attack us. Shots were fired.

The people below were quite surprised when the Nova first appeared, but this guy still surprised everyone after it landed. On the one hand, I was surprised by the size of this alien battleship. After all, this thing is about the same size as an aircraft carrier. It may look slightly larger in appearance. After all, it is relatively slender, so it looks larger. But what surprised everyone more was not its size, but its black technology.

After landing, the Nova did not deploy its landing gear and stop on the ground. Instead, it directly punched out eight anchors and then suspended it at a height of about two meters above the ground like a landed airship. In other words, this thing actually has a constant anti-gravity device.

Generally speaking, no matter how advanced the equipment is, it certainly needs to be shut down when not in use, because as long as the machine is started, it will inevitably consume energy. As for a device that can be left on when not in use, there are only two possibilities. Either the energy consumption of this thing is very low, it doesn't matter even if it is turned on all the time. Or this thing consumes almost no energy.

No matter why the Nova does not need to turn off the anti-gravity engine, it is still an incredible black technology. Human beings want to escape gravity at the cost of using a huge amount of energy. Except for hot air balloons that can be easily suspended, most human aircraft need to consume very large amounts of energy in the sky. Even a glider requires a lot of energy when taking off. However, the Nova is a space battleship that is even larger than an aircraft carrier. It's quite remarkable that it can actually remain suspended.

We were inside the spacecraft and had no idea what the people outside were thinking. As soon as the spacecraft stabilized, we jumped directly from the open hatch of the spacecraft.

This is another special feature of Nova. Its hatch does not have a spiral staircase for getting up and down the spacecraft, because our dragons are so good in physical fitness. The two-meter-high distance can be climbed up with a small jump for us. There is no need to build a spiral ladder or anything else to assist. If you really need to transport goods in and out. There is also a dedicated lifting platform on the spacecraft, so the normal entrance and exit for personnel is just a door. There is no escalator at all. At most, there are some handrails beside the door that are easy to grasp.

When I jumped out of the spaceship with Ling, Xiaochun, Yeyue, and Everett, the people below were still running this way. Because they had just received the news that we were coming, we had already arrived before we arrived at the arranged parking location.

There were many people coming to greet us. At a glance, there were more than thirty people. The four or five people walking in front, with an average age of over fifty, should all be the main staff, and the others are probably followers.

We took the initiative to greet him. Nature soon arrived in front of them. After giving a military salute, I opened my mouth to speak. "Hello everyone, I am Shen Lin. You should all know my identity, so I won't introduce myself." After that, I introduced Ling and the others, and then asked: "So, may I ask you..."

The one walking in the middle opposite looks to be about sixty years old. A very capable old man in a suit said: "I am Wang Guodong, special commissioner of the State Council, who is specifically responsible for this matter." He then introduced to me an officer in military uniform who looked about fifty years old next to him. "This is Major General Liu Sitong, who is responsible for security work in the mining area." As he said that, he turned to a man on the other side who looked slightly younger than Liu Sitong and said: "This is Dr. Wang Han, the technical director here. The remaining You don’t need me to introduce you, right?”

The person Wang Guodong was talking about was a woman in her fifties. Like him, she was also wearing a suit and looked quite masculine. But I really don’t know this person, but I know that she is from our Longyuan, because she has an identity chip on her body. This thing is available to all Longyuan employees. Hers is an implant only for senior executives, which means it needs to be done. The type that can only be disassembled and installed by surgery. Most ordinary employees put it in the ID card and do not require surgical implantation.

I simply scanned her identification chip and immediately knew her information. She was just sent by our group to take charge of liaison work. Because alien ruins were discovered here, the country needed professionals to take over, so she was sent here.

I nodded to greet everyone, and then asked directly: "What do we need to do now?"

Commissioner Wang Guodong said: "You have two jobs now, but they are actually the same thing. You need to find a way to get to the bottom of the mine to see if there are any survivors of the people buried underneath. The other one is to investigate the aliens." Regarding the condition of the ruins, we need to know what kind of ruins they are and whether they are worth excavation.”

I nodded to show that I understood.

It looks like things are a little different than I thought. The government is obviously planning to abandon this mining area. Silan nuclear materials are also necessary for immigrants, but it does not mean that there is absolutely no place to replenish this stuff in space, and because our country has a base on the moon, it has a reserve of helium-3 It's very high, but there's not much need for nuclear materials. In this case, immigration will start soon anyway. It is obviously not cost-effective to have to dig out this mining area and leave without finding anything. so. If the alien ruins below have no development value, then the country may completely abandon this mining area.

After figuring out the situation, I said, "Can you send me the information you have now?"

"Here's the thing." The company's liaison officer directly handed over a universal memory. I put it directly on my ear and returned the thing to her two seconds later. "Okay, I've finished downloading."

I used the psychic network to send the information to everyone, and then I said: "Then shall I start now?"

"If it's convenient for you, of course the sooner the better. The people below may not be able to hold on for long."

The situation down here is actually not as bad as imagined. really. There was a landslide in this place, but the mining area did not completely collapse. Uranium mines are different from ordinary mines. They are not the kind of small coal mines where you can just dig a hole. The construction below this kind of mining area is like an air raid shelter, or even more exaggerated than an air raid shelter. The entrance is wider than a highway toll station, and it is okay for more than a dozen cars to enter side by side. Of course it's not that big inside, but it can still be more than six lanes wide. The ceiling of the cave is also very high.

However, this situation is limited to one hundred meters from the entrance, and not further inside. It's not that the inside of the mine is not as well built as the outside, but because the collapse caused by the collapse inside blocked the cave, so the passage inside began to become very narrow.

It can be said that this channel is not completely blocked. Just because the landslide caused a large number of obstacles to block the entrance. The current situation is that the gap left by the collapse inside is too small for people to get out, and many of the obstacles are support beams and large rocks and concrete blocks. Anyway, they are all things that cannot be done manually. Large machinery cannot drive in at all, but if large machinery is needed to dig in bit by bit. In terms of time, it may take a very long time, and if large machinery is to be allowed to pass, the channel must be dug wide, and the area once dug is too large. It may also lead to another landslide, so this excavation method is somewhat undesirable.

but. Without large-scale equipment, it would be difficult to remove these obstacles solely by manpower and portable items. This is the difficulty of rescue. But it’s much more convenient for us to come.

We people have the same destructive power as large machines and the same body size as humans, so we can get in very easily. If we encounter some steel bars or cement blocks blocking the road, whether it is drilling holes or moving them away, we have a solution. This is our advantage.

The group of people who came to pick us up did not take us to the mining area. Instead, they briefly introduced the situation to us at the headquarters at the foot of the mountain. It took less than five minutes to get an overview of the mission, and then a dedicated person sent us to the mining area. nearby.

In fact, the Zhenzhen mining area is still quite far away from where the spacecraft landed. It was better when we were at the foot of the mountain. But when we drove into the mountain, we found that the people standing on the roadside were all soldiers wearing chemical protective suits. After all, this is a uranium mine. Although there is no radiation at the foot of the mountain, it is only a third of the way from the mountain road. I started to feel a certain intensity of radiation as soon as I reached the mountain. Of course, this would not cause any harm to the human body, but when we were two-thirds of the way up the mountain, the intensity of the radiation could already hurt people. But the soldiers in the mountains all wore three-defense uniforms, so it wasn't a big deal.

When the car that brought us here stopped at the real mining area, I discovered that there was already a rescue frontline headquarters here. Originally, the headquarters at the foot of the mountain should have been placed here, but during the collapse, it seemed that cracks appeared on the surface, causing radiation to leak out. The radiation intensity here has reached the point where it can kill people in half an hour without protection. This kind of ordinary radiation protection suit can no longer completely block it. Just look at the soldiers here and you will know that they are all wearing heavy protective suits that look like space suits. This thing is actually almost catching up with powered armor, but it doesn't have bulletproof capabilities, and it's specially designed to deal with high-intensity radiation.

The soldiers who sent us did not dare to get out of the car at all. They only wore ordinary protective clothing. However, the soldiers who sent us were armored personnel carriers equipped with three-defense functions, so as long as they did not get out of the car, they would be fine.

Because it has been explained very clearly before, there is no need to learn anything more here after we are put down. We directly meet up with the person in charge here, and then the other party sends eight accompanying personnel to go down with us to rescue people.

These eight people are all workers in the original mining area and are familiar with the environment below. Moreover, they are all soldiers. Now they are not wearing simple protective clothing, but a simple version of power armor with three defense functions. This thing is said to be a simplified version of power armor, mainly because it is a power armor for mining, a type of power armor specially prepared for mining operations in radiation zones. The main enhancement of this thing is radiation protection, followed by the function of power armor, but because it is not designed for combat, its functions are very partial.

These people have a different mission than we do. The task of the five of us was to open the road and inspect the ruins afterwards, while the main task of the eight of them was to lead the way and deliver relief supplies.

Because there may be injured people below, and someone's radiation protection equipment may be damaged, so you need to bring more radiation protection equipment to deal with the emergency situation. Anyway, they are mainly responsible for rescue, and we are mainly responsible for opening the way.

Each of the eight people was carrying a large box containing rescue equipment, and of course we were lightly packed, only wearing our own power armor and not even buckling our helmets, because the radiation had no reaction to us at all. However, when the soldiers next to us saw us, they all paid attention to us. After all, people who do not wear protective equipment under such radiation intensity would die in ten minutes at most, but we did not react at all. Definitely not the normal state of human beings. But the people here are all soldiers in the army, and they are secretive troops themselves. They know what should not be said and what should not be asked.

After entering the cave, we saw some vehicles parked at the entrance of the cave next to it. The shape of these vehicles looks like a lunar rover, with only iron frames. It is said that it is because it is inconvenient to move while wearing protective equipment, so it would be difficult for the staff to get on and off the vehicles if they have a shell. Later, they were simply made like iron frames, which is more convenient. Some.

After passing through the hole, we saw the collapsed passage. Not to mention, it’s really not completely blocked. The collapsed earth and stones formed a dam-like ridge in the passage, but the top was still a little far from the ceiling of the passage, enough for a person to stand upright and walk across.

We climbed up this ridge and found that there were still many people digging tunnels behind. After all, the entrance in front was not sealed, so it was easier to get here, but the section they were digging was difficult. The road here is almost blocked, but in the middle you can see some steel beams forming a triangular space, which can barely pass people, but there are orders from above not to let people pass, because passing here is likely to increase the number of victims.

I glanced at the passage and said to Everett: "It's up to you." (To be continued ~^~)
